Excessive Heat Warning, which is in effect from 11 AM to 8 PM EDT
Thursday. The Excessive Heat Watch is no longer in effect.

* HEAT INDEX...Maximum values between 100 and 105 degrees on 
  Thursday due to temperatures in the middle 90s and dew point

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

An Excessive Heat Warning means that a prolonged period of 
dangerously hot temperatures will occur. The combination of hot 
temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a dangerous 
situation in which heat illnesses are likely. Drink plenty of

Take extra precautions...if you work or spend time outside. When
possible...reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or

stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when
possible and drink plenty of water.

To reduce risk during outdoor work...the occupational safety and 
health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks 
in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an 
emergency...call 9 1 1.

warm or hot weather when car interiors can reach lethal 
temperatures in a matter of minutes.
